Rating: - It's almost like throwing a third ear out into the audience for feedback
This is an amazing machine. I've had mine for around a year- and as a musician- I find it priceless. During sets, I simply switch it on- throw it in my cord bag (which is out in the audience)- and then switch it off at the end of the set. When I get home- I very easily and quickly download the contents onto my computer. This thing's been great for me; it's almost like throwing a third ear out into the audience as far as performance feedback goes (great flat response from the built-in mics).
By the way- in case you're wondering- it takes me less than twenty minutes to download and burn a CD once I connect it to my Mac (I then use the CD to review and practice against while driving in my car throughout the week).
I'm sorry if I seem redundant--but: It's a wonderful machine!
Rating: - My Favorite Accessory
My WS-320M is absolutely wonderful. I carry it with me all the time. I recently went back to college after several years and this voice recorder is great for recording lectures. Since this recorder has several folders, I can use a different one for each of my classes.
I love the storage capacity (1 GB) and am also pleased that it is black since most of my other accessories are as well (iPod, cell phone & such). It is also less conspicuous when you are recording other things as well (i.e., general conversations or concerts).
I highly recommend the WS-320M. I purchased the Olympus CS-112 carrying case to go along with the recorder. Perfect fit.
Rating: - Poor Support
I bought an Olympus W-10 a few years ago. Not a bad device, but when I tried to install software on my new Vista laptop, Olympus told me "Too bad. Your device is just outdated." And, "No, we don't have any plans of supporting your device on Windows Vista". I think that says it all. Unless you want to buy one of these every few years.
Rating: - I've enjoyed mine over a year now.
Got mine over a year ago and used it HEAVY for the first 3 months. Dont use it nearly as much any more but still find it awesome and easy to use. Record and drop it on your harddrive to burn to CD for lasting copies. I have never had a "good" recorder before so this one sets the standard for me.
